Art Jameel announces the Gulf's first residency opportunity dedicated to arts writers and researchers
- The second edition of Art Jameel’s multi-year commissions programme calls for proposals in Arts Writing and Research – the first of its kind in the region
- The selected writer will be awarded a three-month residency in 2019 at the Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai, which opens on November 11, 2018
- Writers are invited to propose a written project to be produced before the end of 2020; applications are due by November 30, 2018
- Art Jameel Commissions runs in a three-year cycle: the first edition focused on Sculpture (2018), the second on Arts Writing and Research (2019), the third on Drawing and Painting (2020)
- Confluence: Inspired by the UAE’s standing as an international meeting place and point of convergence, as well as Jameel Arts Centre’s waterside location on Dubai Creek, a strand of the Centre’s programme and collection will explore notions of confluence: spaces of coming together and exchange across geographies or temporalities, and the global historic and contemporary identities of port cities. An example of this programming is ‘Research Studio: Confluence’, a curated reading room and active research space currently taking place at Art Jameel’s temporary Project Space in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai (now through July 31). In response to a curated bibliography developed by Omar Berrada, reading groups in English and Arabic led by interdisciplinary artist Noush Anand and translator and critic Hafsa Hariga serve to create a language-specific open platform for discussion, reflection and debate.
- Museology: As a new independent arts institution, the Centre is invested in critically investigating modes of art production and exhibition making. Related programming will consider historical practices of museology; audience and artwork dynamics; forms of display; and revisiting regional art histories.
- The GCC: While the scope of its programme is intentionally international, the Centre is also rooted in its local context, and includes artists’ works and projects that explore experiences of living and working in the Gulf countries.
